More women in German shipping

05.09.2024
HAMBURG. The percentage of women in the German merchant fleet has increased by 1.3 per cent over the past two years, as announced in May by the German Shipowners’ Association (VDR) during the third International Day for Women in Maritime in 2024. “That’s a positive trend,” emphasised Gaby Bornheim, President of the VDR. “Women account for more than seven per cent in the German shipping industry, which is much higher than the international average of roughly two per cent. But we still have a long way to go towards our goal.”
